The Arab Students Association (ASA) Yale Friends of Turkey (YFT), in
conjunction with McKinsey & Co and several partners at Yale University,
are organizing a conference on Entrepreneurship in the Middle East. It
is the collaborators’ vision to organize a conference that sheds a
different light on a region where great opportunities are constantly
overshadowed by politically charged news headlines. Such an initiative,
falls within the ASA’s mission of breaking down stereotypes and closing
the divide between the people of the U.S. and the Middle East.
The conference will take place on the 6th of November on Yale Campus.
It will consist of two Keynote speakers, the first being Fadi Ghandour
of Aramex and the second being Hani Al Maskati, Managing Partner within Cash Management Matters, Bahrain. The
conference will also involve two panels covering the topics: Social
Entrepreneurship, Education and Socioeconomic Development and The Role
of Women in Entrepreneurship. There will also be a talk on the Future of
Renewable Energy in the Middle East.
